Legislation banning the sale of cell-cultured meat in Florida, will take effect on July 1st, 2024. This legislation is essentially a “feel-good” measure in response to political pressure since there will not be any commercially available cell-cultured meat on July 1st, 2024, or for that matter, in the foreseeable future.
Vegan advocates consider that cell-cultured meat would be an improvement over conventional beef, pork and chicken based on welfare and environmental criteria. Organizations opposing animal agriculture are also pushing the health aspects of non-meat diets citing an unproven scientific relationship between intake of dietary cholesterol and cardiovascular disease in otherwise healthy consumers.
